To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, F. JARVIS PATTEN, a citizen of the United States,residing at Fort Sidney, in the county of Cheyenne, State of Nebraska,have invented a new and useful G11ff-Button, of which the following is aspecification.

The object of my invention is to produce a cuff button of the classknown as spiral shoebuttons, which may be readily inserted in orwithdrawn from the button-hole without injuring said button-hole, andwhich shall be simple in construction and inexpensive in manufacture.

Figures 1, 2, 3, and 4 show the post or shank (with the spiral shoeremoved) in various positions. Fig. 5 is a plan view of the shoe as cutfrom the blank. Fig. 6 is an edge view of the shoe after it has beentwisted into its finished shape. Fig. 7 is an elevation of the completebutton.

b is the post of the button, which is recessed, as shown at d c 6, so asto conform to the line of the inner edge of the spiral shoe.

The shoe may be out from sheet metal in the form shown in Fig. 5, andprovided with the curved ends a b. This shoe is secured to the to allcuff-buttons alike, being simply an im- 40 proved variation in the shapeof the under or shoe part and the extremity of the connectingpost.

I- claim- A button provided with a spiral sho'e, the 45 free ends ofwhich lie in parallel planes, and having a post recessed to conformtothe curvature of said shoe, the latter being secured to the post orformed integrally therewith, substantially as shown.
